Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is coming to the defense of her friend and fellow member of Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), telling CNN’s Manu Raju that people were “a little too hard” on Omar.

Raju caught up with Ocasio-Cortez in the halls of the United States Capitol and asked her if she thought Omar was unfairly singled out for her most recent anti-Semitic comments.

“You know, I think that things came down on her a little too hard,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

It also appeared that Ocasio-Cortez was not interested in litigating whether Omar should apologize for her most recent anti-Semitic comments. “Asked if Omar should apologize, she began to answer then walked into an office,” Raju tweeted.

“When we elect the most diverse caucus that we have in pretty much ever, it means that we have more communities at the table, more conversations that need to be had,” she said. Asked if Omar should apologize, she began to answer then walked into an office
